Brawn is full of praise for Renault: “Their trajectory continues to improve”

Two events marked the 2020 Eifel Grand Prix. The first event was the victory record of Michael Schumacher equaled by Lewis Hamilton (91 successes), but the second highlight was less anticipated. It's about first podium achieved by Renault in 10 years.

In his usual post-GP letter, Ross Brawn is particularly happy with the progress made by the Yellow and Blacks this year. “I’ve seen it coming for some time. Renault showed promising signs but they never converted the try.

 

However, I must recognize that since returning to competition this summer, they have started to record good results and their trajectory continues to improve. advances the one who knew the former offshoot of Renault, Benetton, in the mid-1990s.

“Renault has placed itself above the fray and will soon turn its attention to the first two teams (Mercedes et Red Bull), he analyzes. Le Losange is fifth in the Manufacturers' standings with six rounds remaining but is only 6 points behind Racing Point, 3rd.

The Motor Sports director of Liberty Media also brings forward the start of the good days for the French team, which will be renamed Alpine in 2021, on the condition that they “can continue this level of competitiveness in the new F1 regulations in 2022. If they do, they will be able to return to the top of the hierarchy.

Ross Brawn does not forget the grandiose return of Fernando Alonso “an incredibly exciting project” according to the British. The double world champion is also in Barcelona (Spain) this Tuesday to a day of promotional driving with the Renault R.S.20.
